About the Moroccan national team – by / Badr Al-Din Al-Idrisi
We will not disagree with the maker of happiness, coach and national voter Walid Regragui, that the Brazil friendly, which opens the national team a new path following its legendary World Cup in Qatar, represents a dream, a celebration and a space for sharing gratitude and gratitude between the Atlas Lions and their fans, who were a blessing to support them in their historic World Cup journey, and it is also a friendly It is accompanied by many questions that are from the nature of the heavy legacy left by the World Cup, and from the kind of terrible pressure that falls on the shoulders of the players, and from the heavy burden of responsibility that surrounds Walid Al-Rakraki’s neck, as the new time will be, the time to enter history from a new gate other than that. From which he entered the hearts of millions as he signed a historic World Cup. I recently enjoyed sitting with the patriotic voter Walid Al-Rakraki, and he hosted last Monday’s episode of the “Dream Team” program broadcast “on MBC 5”, ably presented by my great media colleague Jalal Bouzarra, and it was a renewed opportunity to explore the mountains of ambition anchored in Walid’s thought. And let me stand on the philosophy that he works with today as a national voter, a philosophy based on investing in the legacy to sustain success, with a commitment to the highest levels of humility, so Walid considers the Brazil friendly in Tangier, the world-ranked team, a gift to the Moroccan fans who were the first to watch their national team play in front of them here. In Morocco, in its first exit after the World Cup, but it considers it the mirror that will reflect the reality of the Atlas Lions’ descent from their Ivorian World Cup tower, to start with the same greed, thirst and boldness, the journey of a new ascent towards the summits. Walid Al-Rakraki said to his lions after the final whistle of the ranking match against the Croatian national team, which placed them in fourth place in the World Cup: “We will enter to celebrate with our king and our fans this historic football achievement, but after that we have to go down to the ground to start a journey of another kind, a journey that we want to end with us to The summit of African football, so the bet after today is to win the African Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire. Certainly, these carefully selected phrases from a coach who wants his players to be the great embodiment of competitive thought and the mirror reflective of renewed ambition will not have any meaning if the national team players do not deal with the friendly Brazil, with the seriousness that accompanied them throughout their World Cup journey, with the price of victory that inhabited them in Qatar and with the insistence on staying. For a long time in the fold of the global football elite. And any match with the Brazil national team, whether official or friendly, at any time and in any place, is certainly an exceptional event, of course, because who our national team will stand against is the world-ranked Brazil team, the record holder for the number of World Cup wins, and the storehouse of many. One of the legends who adorn the importance of world football, except that the exception in this friendly match is that the Brazil national team opens its new path and is out with great disappointment from the last World Cup, and was forced to leave it in the quarter-finals after losing to Croatia on penalties, while The Moroccan national team returns to the theaters of the competition, and it is descending from a beautiful tower. It was the first Arab and African team to ascend to it in the World Cup. Whoever has hope and ambition to turn the page on pain is the Brazilian national team, and whoever wants to preserve the spirit of the World Cup is the Moroccan national team, whatever the technical and mental stimuli, and no matter how different. Or conflicted, Foudia Tangiers will undoubtedly write a new history for the national team, and how wonderful it would be if the lions achieved their first victory over a Latin team, even if it was the size of the samba dancers, a victory that would be an extension of the era of epics, a victory through which the lions confirm to Their coach, Walid Regragui, and for all of us, are qualified to preserve the beautiful World Cup heritage and to sustain success.
